Summer is the season of discovery and imagination for readers of all ages! Our theme this year is: Summer At The Library: Color Your World.

Join us to discover:

  • Programs and services for children, teens, and adults.
  • Curated booklists for every reading level, including selections in a variety of international languages.
  • A reading challenge game! Color in the slots on the gameboard in our guidebook for a chance to win a prize!

Reading during the summer isn’t just enjoyable — it’s a great way for kids to keep their reading skills sharp while school is out. Without regular reading, students can lose valuable skills in a phenomenon known as the “summer slide.” The good news is QPL can help! Studies show that children who take part in public library summer reading programs are better prepared when they return to school in the fall.

Explore Summer Reading at NYPL and BPL.
